Conference realignment shakes up college football landscape as Pac-12 crumbles, SEC and Big Ten dominate

The Pac-12 is left with just 4 schools after USC, UCLA, Oregon, Washington, Arizona, Arizona State, Utah, and Colorado announce departures.
The SEC and Big Ten have emerged as the dominant conferences, expanding to 34 total schools between them.
Discussions about Gonzaga and UConn joining the Big 12 fizzled out as the conference added 4 Pac-12 schools.
The upcoming 2023 season will be the last for several historic Pac-12 rivalries before realignment takes effect.
Recruiting and TV media rights negotiations have been impacted significantly amid the uncertainty.
